Skill+Test+and+Retakes


 * Skill Tests and Retakes**

Due to TAKS/EOC tutorials during the 5th Six Weeks, I have modified our testing and re-take policy to ease the inconvenience of the TAKS tutorials.

1. After school tutorials are every Thursday from 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm in Ms. Riggins Room 300. If you work on and complete skill test corrections independently in tutorials, you will receive either a 3 or 4 on that skill test without having to take a retake. 2. Math Saturday is Saturday, March 31, 2012 from 9 am to 12 pm. If you work on and complete skill test corrections independently in tutorials, you will receive either a 3 or 4 on that skill test without having to take a retake. 3. Manga High: I have incorporated Manga High into the Skills Test and Skill Test Retakes for the 5th Six weeks. A **Bronze** Medal on a Skill Test Challenge or Skill Test Retake Challenge: -> a **2.8 (70%)** for the Skill Test Grade A **Silver** Medal on a Skill Test Challenge or Skill Test Retake Challenge: -> a **3.4 (85%)** for the Skill Test Grade A **Gold** Medal on a Skill Test Challenge or Skill Test Retake Challenge: -> a **4 (100%)** for the Skill Test Grade 4: If a Skill Test has more than one challenge, the scores on both will be averaged to determine the overall grade. See below for more information.
